Hello,
Just wanted to announce the release of the new version of Namo Webeditor 8 (upgrading from version 2006 to 8).
I am now eagerly waiting for the French version, which shouldn't take long to arrive from this editor.
For me, it is by far the best WYSIWYG site editor on the market (I've tried them all).
This version seems much more refined than the last two, which brought little improvement.

For now, only the English version can be imported.

Catch you later

I'm a bit like you, waiting for the French version.
To speed things up, I suggest sending a message (even a short one in English) to Namo US regarding the long-awaited French version! ;)

For a replacement, at the level of web editors ... none for those unfamiliar with HTML or PHP.
There is the latest version of Cariboost, now called Web Acappella
https://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Internet/editeur_de_site/fiches/50237.html
The result may look splendid, but apparently it uses a lot of Flash, and to reconfigure a site to your liking, in my opinion, it's likely to get stuck.

I had already tested quite a few back in 2007, and Namo was already far ahead of the competition compared to: Cariboost, Easy Web Editor, Web Creator .....
According to my memories, Thundersite might be an outsider,
http://www.generalia-software.com/thundersite/home.php
, but I doubt it is as scalable and practical as Namo.

The other ones mentioned above should be avoided if you plan to evolve or modify the code generated by this type of software.
The advantage of Namo is that it allows you to progress in programming without rushing you because even if the page codes are not always very clear (and a bit overloaded ... I must admit). They are compatible with an HTML editor like WebExpert 6 (which was even offered for a while ... yes! the latest version), NVU or Dreamweaver (the standard, but very expensive and quite complex).

Personally, I stick with Namo 6 French if version 8 doesn't come out in French. For now, it's more than enough to create websites. Version 8 probably brings some improvements, but I don't mind not taking this latest version!

Unfortunately not, and despite all my emails, even to the company mentioned above, which replies to me with a link to the Namo site (which does not respond to me!)

The French version does not seem to interest Namo!

Regarding Webcreator, having tested it, I can understand, given the limitations of the software when one wants to create a professional site!
Unfortunately, I must warn you that the pages created will not be editable by Namo or any other HTML programming software...

Otherwise, I recommend purchasing the Namo Webeditor 2006 suite which is in French and well-developed... you won't be disappointed. Moreover, you can find it at a very reasonable price on the parent company's site (V. fr)
See you later

Hello
I am not a great specialist.
What does this version offer compared to the 2006 one that I have?
Thank you for shedding some light on this
Best regards

Not enough time to test but you have information here:
https://twitter.com/andrewrosener

Not enough time to test, but basically, if I understood correctly:

Enhanced HTML WYSIWYG.

New user interface (ease of use, menu buttons),
New features for content creation, easily and quickly.
New toolbar with grouping by function to facilitate access.

Presentations:
Presentations can be embedded in HTML documents
Display your web browser help in full-screen mode. Existing presentation files (*.ppt) can be converted into HTML or image form.
PowerPoint files (*.ppt) can be converted into HTML or image form.
Integration of an embedded slideshow, with simplified navigation (probably "a pinch" of their freemotion flash program).
Integration of an assistant.

Teaching Plan Wizard Feature
A wizard feature is provided for making basic teaching plans easily. Users with a knowledge of XML can use WebEditor*s XML editing features to create their own lesson plan forms.
Namo 8 uses JavaScript to create simple games, question drafting, quizzes, adding multiple-choice questions, true/false, or short answer.
Possibility to create quizzes on a website, with the ability to check results from anywhere. Results can also be sent to a specified email address.

Easy learning statistical features
Integrated statistical functions, sums, averages, etc., from data created in a table. Creating charts from a table.

Tags can now be inserted into the HTML source code but also directly from the editing window.

Various new clip art and themes designed by professional designers.

Ease of updating an existing site (I'm not sure, but if it is what I think, it could be super interesting).

Ability for direct display in a blog. Additionally, blogs can be imported into WebEditor, and published as needed, then displayed on the blog again. (An automated update import comes out!)

I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about it, despite my various letters (US) that went unanswered ?????
The website that the company (US) redirected us to (Europe) seems to be down.
The only impression that comes out is that the French version might never be released!
Let's hope I'm wrong... but in the meantime ....

Thank you for your quick response. You confirm a feeling I had; indeed, Namo Webeditor is rare in computer shops. Too bad, I really like this software.
If nothing comes out in French within 6 months, I will get the English version. It will be tough!
Otherwise, in your opinion, what software in French could replace it?

With Microsoft Money no longer available in French since 2005 and Namo Webeditor seemingly letting us down, I wonder where we are headed....

Best regards.

Hello to all NWE users
I, like you, am eagerly awaiting version 8 of Namo in French.
But considering everything I’ve read on the forum, I remain skeptical.
Quick question:
I created my site using SJ Namo WebEditor 6 suite, then I installed a more recent version, Namo WEBEDITOR SUITE 2006, with which I am encountering a problem.
Indeed, the photo albums created with this newer version significantly degrade the quality of the photos compared to the first version.
To the point that I reverted to the first version of the software.
Have you noticed the same phenomenon, and if so, have you found a workaround?
Thanks in advance

Hello Berry,
I am surprised that the photos are degraded; in my opinion, this comes from a conversion configuration.

Otherwise, personally, I do not use Namo albums, and for several years now I have been a user of Jalbum.

It's easy to use, with excellent quality during conversions, the best being the use of beautiful skins.

The Jalbum program is free and in French:
https://jalbum.net/en/

Regarding the skins, I mainly use:
- BananAlbum (photo album)

but also in flash format with the advantage of flash preventing (except for the clever ones) the copying of photos:
- FotoPlayer
- FotoStack
- TitleViewer (I love it)
- LightFlow

The creation of albums is done quickly.
You just need to copy the created directory and then create a link to its index.

It needs to be tested urgently if you don't know it!

Regarding Namo, I don't use the counters but rather phpmyvisit, which is much more complete and free, just like Namo's forums; I prefer phpBB forums which are also free.

Note: There is no need to be a programmer to create the latter.

Hello,
Thank you for your quick response.
I’m sharing the address of my site so that you can tell me if your album solution would provide better results than what you can observe there.
Otherwise, I’m open to any advice to improve my site: www.velo18.net
Sincere regards

Quick look at your site and I confirm that the albums made with Jalbum will be of better quality and more professional.

For a preview, here is the album page of one of my sites (the latest).
3 albums, using the titleviewer skin for the first, Fotoplayer for the second, and the third skin fotoStack. All 3 are Flash skins (preventing unauthorized copying!).

Otherwise, for your site, it feels a bit personal page (especially the chat!!!!!), but overall it's a good start!
Namo allows for good growth; initially, it’s enough to understand how to use tables, then to integrate background images into the tables (+ cutouts). Finally, to achieve a generally aesthetically pleasing result!

Hello,
I just published a first album with Jalbum (it's just a trial) and it really has a different look.
I'm on board.
Thanks for the tip, potato.

Yes! The result is much more professional!
I love the Flash skins... have you tested them?


But that does not take away from the qualities of the other modules of Namo Web Editor.

However, the company Namo is starting to annoy me... in 2 months, I've sent 4 messages asking for the release date of the French version (messages in English) and still no response ????????
Not serious!!!!!!

If anyone has better luck than me, don't hesitate to post their response!

Hi!
I'm an average user (well, maybe an average + after some time...)
I'm updating a site and it was going quite well despite some errors, particularly in my page opening management...
But here's the thing...
If Namo Web Editor 2008 in French doesn't come out...
My computer crashed and I now have a VISTA... it seems that Namo 6 only works on XP...
Is that true?
I'm hesitant to try installing it on Vista which is... temperamental!
Thanks for a little help
Best regards
Janmi

Hello
You have to be bold! What does it cost? I don't think Vista is more temperamental than XP...

As Marc points out, what’s stopping you from installing it on Vista?
At best, you leave it and your work can continue, at worst you uninstall it!
And to reassure you, make a restore point before the installation ... you’ll quickly know while taking your precautions!

Hello,
I am using NWE with Vista on my laptop and it works very well.
Simply because I installed, since May 2008, a downloaded Vista patch (28.5 MB) from the Namo website.

Janmi > Marc
 
Thank you Marc...
I tried...
it works... sort of... It seems that Namo has created an update for Vista unfortunately, I am being asked for a username and a password... which I certainly created nearly 3 years ago when I activated the software... but...
Oh yes, one computer later and the notes are lost... I am waiting, without losing hope that namohelp@wska.com will reply to me...
For Vista, it's not capricious, that's true, it's just annoying with "Are you the one who initiated this action?" but you get used to it...
Best regards,
Janmi

I just received a response from the company mentioned earlier by Marc, but I believe there is a misunderstanding, as the company is directing me to the parent company:
ESCHELBACHER ENTERPRISES, which distributes a product called webeditor (2006, 2008, and 2009) but which, according to various views of the software, has little to do with the software published by Namo.

I installed their version of webeditor 2009 but quickly uninstalled it!
Here it is in image: http://www.eschelbacher.com/cms/bigeditor/bigeditor.php
As you can see... nothing to do with it!

Hello!
Thank you for the response!
I also followed Marc's link,
the company Element 5 (CSF) obviously couldn't find a customer account, and indeed while searching the site, I did find web editor but it's not Namo...
I saw that Marc and another person found the patch on the Namo site...
I did too, but my problem remains as I no longer have my account ID and despite sending an email (lost ID... click here...) along with the serial number and the CD key, I haven't received a reply...
On the namo.fr site, I regularly encounter [error 404] when I try to search for another link other than the homepage (download / updates / etc.)
That's where I am!
Thank you all for the help

Hello
I received a letter right after my purchase from NAMO
*****************************************************
Dear customer,

This email is not a new invoice. It is solely
intended to help you identify the charge that will be made
shortly on your card.

On 28/DEC/2006, you purchased the following product from
element 5 from the publisher SJ Namo Interactive Inc. and paid by credit card:
Namo WebEditor 2006 suite French ESD Full
Renewal of the download of Namo WebEditor 2006 suite French ESD
Full [300589462] (24 months)

The order, registered with us under reference 97xxxxxxx, was paid

It's very clear. And NAMO has always responded to me very quickly, whenever I had a small problem.

Yes, I want to believe you, but in the language of Molière all the emails remain unanswered, even the 4 in English ????

More simply, could you ask them the release date of version 8 in French, ..... maybe your name (email) won't get lost in the shuffle like mine! Thanks in advance for your help!

Alright, thanks for the information and the advice.
I took the trial version of version 8 and I must admit that it’s actually not that difficult to use (if you've already used version 6 in French).

Well, I'm diving in

I used the Namo version (2006 suite) in demo mode for a while, and therefore purchased the 2006 version not long after realizing that version 8 (demo version) only had a more pleasant aesthetic (icon bar, more accessible tool layout...), and that the engine itself hadn't really evolved much since. So when I came across an offer recently :) I decided to buy without hesitation.
For me, the 2006 version is already quite good, as I've never been stuck because with Namo there's always a solution (importing via copy/paste of external HTML scripts, for example!) that is sufficient and will suffice for most website designers.
From time to time, I do program pages to make them look more professional (like a contact page), create albums with Jalbum, and integrate them into Namo (so I don't use their album or their forum creation feature, as I prefer the PhpBB program which is much more professional and skinnable without being complicated to install). I can also integrate external programs (buttons, menus) like Sothink DHTML, which was distributed for free by Giveaway of the Day three weeks ago, or other menu creation software that is much more professional than those offered by Namo. Personally, I understand that they can't provide professional tools for all the "small programs" integrated into the suite.

Contrary to what one might think, this is precisely the advantage of this suite (2006):

- to offer tools without being forced to use them (unlike WebCreator)
- allows you to evolve while quickly creating a structure (pages)
- to not be blocked by a dedicated script program like in WebCreator
- to have a fully compatible HTML, PHP editor...
- the suite also offers, in addition to the editor, a toolbox for cutting your background images (very important and useful once you understand the use of tables, but also a tool for designing buttons and various things...)
- and so many other good things...

Usually sold at a price of 129 euros excluding tax, I recently bought it at Rueducommerce for a price that beats any competition, either.... 29 euros or 36 euros including shipping (delivery in 2 days).
The offer is still displayed but no longer in stock; what surprises me is the notice "available within 15 days," while I realized this morning (for Zennounours! ;) ) ... but as they say to those who might be interested: "nothing ventured, nothing gained"... if you know what I mean:

Hello everyone,
I'm joining the discussion to say that I agree with your comments on the qualities of Namo WebEditor, but I am frustrated that the editor never responds to messages about the release of the French version, including emails in English. I have rarely seen a publisher so disregard their customers.
On another note, I accidentally purchased version 8 in English (as the entire sales process is in French and nothing makes it clear). It works perfectly on XP. For those using the 2006 version, they will find it easy with a few errors.
The Namo logic comes back quickly. One of the major problems is that the proposed quiz is great in spirit and original compared to competitors, but unfortunately, the answer dialogues are in English, making it difficult to use for a French website. It's true that I haven't dug deep, but in any case, it requires tinkering if "possible".
I even sent an email to Avangate, the distributor. They answered all my questions except the one about the availability of the French version.
What makes me even more skeptical is that the German version has already been released. This market seems smaller to me, as French is more widely spoken, if only by our "Canadian cousins".
It's really a shame...
Otherwise, I recommend the group purchase of PopCorm Flying, very efficient for its price (unfortunately in English) with some slight issues in operation with accented characters, but these problems can be worked around.
Let's hope that the francophone community of WebEditor will make their voice heard...

Thierry

Hello everyone

Ah, how I wish I could develop like some of you! No, I'm not a specialist, but I still appreciate this software. The little flaws you mention sometimes overwhelm me as I stick to the basic functions. I don't think Namo looks down on its customers, but they must receive hundreds, if not thousands of emails from all over Europe. Maybe they simply don't have a French translator available at the moment.
Best regards

I must say that Namo 6 is quite awesome and nothing to envy from Dream or Macro Flash, you can practically do as much
it adapts to plenty of other little logs and to a lot of great formats, but I'm waiting like everyone else for version 8. If you want to take the time to check out my site, you'll be surprised, even just the intro page, go here
www.st-jacques-news.com let's be a little patient for the French version 8, it will inevitably come. Jumpy, see you later and hello to all.

namo 6 for the moment remains the log of the moment easy to manipulate and when you get the hang of it html it's all good you remove you put back
it has nothing to envy the big ones like dream or macro flash it adapts very well to different little logs very convenient for animation among other things so go take a little tour on my site intro page to start it's the
http://www.st-jacques-news.com

but like everyone I’m waiting for version 8 and in French for English it's a pain
let's be patient it will come jumpai see you later

Hello

It is now June 2010 and I would like to know if the WebEditor 8 version of Namo is now available in French. It is indeed my favorite software for website creation as it allows us the freedom to create our site as we wish.

Thank you for your responses.

Hello,

Two years later, the French version is still not available without any announcement (the publisher does not respond to any requests)
The software does not run on Windows 7

Technical support is nonexistent, unlike FreeMotion from the same publisher

So I strongly advise against WebEditor even though I have two versions and I believed in it.

Hi knowky,
I am surprised by your remark, as I am using Windows 7 and Namo Web Editor 2006 works perfectly on this OS.
I haven't switched to version 8, and for now, I have no desire to switch to anything else. Moreover, it has allowed me to dig into the software and see all the possibilities it offers, whether in WYSIWYG mode or in editor mode (like Dreamweaver).
To evolve, I also use the excellent WebExpert.
See you later,
Patrick

Hello,
I’m curious because I’m also on Windows 7 and it’s not compatible. I use the software on another computer which is running XP. I’ve tried other versions but the result is the same.
It's a shame because I really wish I could use Namo on my main computer.

Yes, the same
Look for a few dozens of euros more for the pro version that should include, in addition to webeditor 8, the webcanvas program just like in the 2006 pack, but especially a standard version of the Freemotion flash program, which I find easy to use and quite professional in the result!
